Yes, they still have a long way to go, but it was a really good start, especially by a defense that outplayed the league’s reigning No. 1 overall defense.

“We want to be the best defense in the league, and we have that ability,” Campbell said, via quotes distributed by the team. “But it doesn’t mean anything if you don’t continue with it. But it does feel good. We played a great game, with directing our game plan very well. I made a lot of plays and when you do that you’re going to win games.”

The Jaguars held the Texans to 203 yards. They produced a team-record 10 sacks and four turnovers, scoring on one.

“We all have confidence in each other, from an individual standpoint and a defensive standpoint,” Bouye said. “But it’s only game one. We played a great team, and then we’re going to play another great team next week, which is going to be a different type of downhill run game, shots, and we’re looking forward to it.”

Many would disagree with calling the Texans a “great team,” especially after how they played at home in a game that meant a lot to their city, but it’s hard to argue with what the Jaguars did Sunday.

Give credit to the Jags, but Texans’ O line is nothing but bad. Try to get by on the cheap and this is what you get.
You have to have a UB and skill players on both sides of the ball, but if you don’t have at least decent line play you’re not going to win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Jags fan obviously…Jags aren’t as good as we looked….Texans may not be very good. Long season to come.

True! Didn’t bother me to see the Jags defense play well. Bothered me a lot to see the Texans defense play so bad, especially against Bortles. Yep, long season ahead.
